[URGENT] Unable to verify passport info via AustralianETA app

To Whom It May Concern,

Trying to use ETA App on iPhone13/Oppo/Huawei. It won't scan passport (gets stuck in green scanning mode, despite no glare on passport) and will not read passport with NFC functionality. Completely stuck. It's been a month now.

Heard that the Australian embassy won,t attend any enquiries related to visa and citizenship matters. So, I'm totally lost now.

FYI, my brother had renewed passport (thinking that the existing passport might have an unknown issue that was blocking the passport to scan further) but still not successful.

Weird thing is, he just came back with the same passport from Munich few days before and had no issue to scan thru via autogate plus immigration's officer here in Malaysia didn't find any abnormalities on the passport itself.

Kindly attend the matter at your earliest convenience.

NOTE: The flight ticket, our stay and car rental already sorted out and next week we'll fly to Gold Coast. But with no visa granted yet, I doubt we can't make it on the dot.

I completely forgot about the visa situation when I booked my flight for sept this year. I believe based on my situation, I have a low chance of approval because I'm now driving grab as my part time income while I am also part time studying. Clearly my grab income is not stable and it's relatively low considering that I'm only doing it part time. Any tips to get my ETA approved based on your experiences?

Assets wise pretty ok, but income wise severely lacking. Maybe I should quickly get employed within the next 2 months then reapply after that 😅

Just hoping and praying that I won't have to burn my tickets, really stupid mistake to make, but what to do.

Ah, OK. That one I know... my most disliked number amongst all the numbers attached to me in Australia... haha

No… I did when I was a student, but now I have too many numbers to try to keep up. Haha

Now, students need to front up RM100,000 to prove that they’re not going to jump aeroplane….. I think it’s a real possibility that we may have further scrutiny on the ETA application moving forward….

Wow… that’s really digging into our financial history

Food for thought - what about those Chinaman companies that declare directorship and dividends post tax? Their EPFs might be measly or non existent but their wallets are bursting… and they are fat cats … so a bit hard to hop like a kangaroo and jump planes hahaha

Your niece got secret weapon… uncle is a PR hahaha

subclass 601 – Business Visitor Stream, ya ill be there for a 2 weeks and plan to have my wife fly in on the 3rd week. i'll probably spend 1 week there with my wife.

I'm not even sure how to answer that section, to be honest...

I kena flagged.
I first time and applied via SG location with MY passport

Walaoweh smlj documents all also submitted.
Bank statements, payslip, CPF statement, even my mama also don’t know how much I worth

On a slightly related note, my RRV renewal was approved within 3 days - just got it in the mail today, after we submitted the paperwork just before the weekend. Happy days.

Yearly ongoing, we spent just under the 2 out of the 5 years, but I’m not complaining

They reading or spying on me? Know what?... after all that paperwork i've submitted.. this is quite an interrogation compared to IRB's requests. So.. let's skip the foreplay and get to the meat.. If Aussie immi wanna follow/spy me.. you're more than welcome.

So let's skip the car tailing; drone flying crap. Here.. i'll give you the keys to the rental car. YOU DRIVE. Dont bother wasting your time bugging, tagging and following. YOURE INSIDE the CAR LISTEING and WATCHING everything up close. BUT YOU DRIVE . Dont mind.. i'll pay your share of the Hungry Jacks/McD lunch. Heck.. if you want.. they're more than welcome to chaperone me and my family to WB Studios.. movie world.. sea world.. australia zoo.. etc.. My entire itinery is there for them. Dont waste time trying to bug and follow me. just chaperone me!

Hell i'd leave them guys a bottle or 2 of jack daniels and smokes as thanks for the chaperone since they're basically doing babysitting and bodyguarding and tour guide duties at Aussie Gov expense if they think i'm worth spying. Just no need hide in the bushes. Here's the dang car keys. *(a la North Korean Tourism style)

Best thing. NOTHING. No issues. First and only application. Wife rejected first within 72 hrs. New one took 1 week. At least if i'm rejected with an error i understand. Just left me pending for 3 weeks... 🤔

Yeah! Most important got the visa's...
Sorry? Please clarify? only thing i could find on google was parking in Sydney Airport...

Guys, need a little help. I'm applying for the ETA and have uploaded the following docs
1. 3 months Payslip
2. 3 months Bank statement
3. Epf
4. Land title
5. Employment contract
6. Shareholding docs
7. Passport
8. IC
9. Itinerary
10. Flight booking
11. Form 1554 filled

And yet when I wanted to click to proceed it says that "not all required evidence has been provided" I'm so confused, is there something wrong? I would think all the above documents would be sufficient.

Apparently for Malaysian only, high risk country for plane jumper
With MYR rising, will they be more lenient in the future? 

I guess my profile is quite unconventional, thus the delay...
Case officer might not be experienced with Taiwanese documents.
